This is not an overreaction thread. Seriously. We all know what he brings in, night in and night out - consistently strong defense, rebounding, and hustle. It's a given.

Ever since he's been inserted to the starting line up he has given us a huge boost on offense. His post game appears to be developing well. He can shoot jumpers and make that baby hook. Heck his offensive repertoire is now looking better than Howard's.

Of course his health is an issue... but we took a risk with Bynum and Howard.

Jordan Hill deserves to be with us (we're the only team that gave him a chance), and if he continues working hard, he could be an all star. Especially with Kobe' leadership.

I pray that he is not another Ariza to leave us... certainly not to the Miami Heat...

Jordan Hill's contract is up after this season.

LMFAO, that wasn't an overreaction? Sorry but Kobe isn't a god. He can't make solid players all stars. I don't think any player can. He's a good player but that's all I ever see him being.

It is because he is standing out now that some desperate team will overpay him and the Lakers FO won't want to match a ridiculous sum either. I like the guy for his tenacity and rebounding, but he is not worth over 10 million a year. Plus injury concerns always loom with him.

We do have his bird rights, so we can go into the lux tax to keep him and we should obviously do that. His cap hold is 6.6 million so he wont make it that difficult to sign FAs.

I'm not sure if we can give him an extension during the season? Does anyone know? If we can we should try.

The problem is that Hill never really got paid in his career and is probably going to be seeking the best possible deal and some teams could overpay.

Another option is to trade him. If you know that you're not going to be able to offer him the same as other teams will, i think you should look at possible trades. The value of Hill at this point (as well as Blake, Meeks, Johnson, Henry, Farmar) is at an all time high.

Not me. He's been doing the same thing since he got here. Just finally getting the chance to stuff that stat sheet. He has a nice go-to spin jump hook and can hit most of his shots within the free throw line. Nothing fancy, just a very hard worker and has so much talent at rebound positioning.
